Guide plate Alignment Whats the best way to adjust guide plates? My theory would be to get intake and exhaust on the base circle of cam and center the roller on the valve tip then tighten rocker studs turn motor over a few times to check alignment. Just looking for some insight.

What guideplates are you using? If they are non-adjustable, just make sure they are centered over the rocker studs before tightening them down. Keep in mind that the pushrods will touch the guideplates, so as long as there is no excess wear you're fine.

I have the Trick Flow hardened guideplates and they were a PITA trying to get straight. Some would rotate a bit once you torqued them down so tightened them little by little to 50.

They are the GMPP I'm guessing centered more aft to front more than the other.

went with the ISKY adjustables and could line up each RR perfect. ISKY's have been on the motor for years now.
